　　- the little prince befriends the fox

　　It was then that the fox appeared.

　　"Good morning," said the fox.

　　"Good morning," the little prince responded politely, although when he turned around he saw nothing.

　　"I am right here," the voice said, "under the apple tree."

　　"Who are you?" asked the little prince, and added, "You are very pretty to look at."

　　"I am a fox," said the fox.

　　"Come and play with me," proposed the little prince. "I am so unhappy."

　　"I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed."

　　"Ah! Please excuse me," said the little prince.

　　But, after some thought, he added: "What does that mean-- ‘tame‘?"

　　"You do not live here," said the fox. "What is it that you are looking for?"

　　"I am looking for men," said the little prince. "What does that mean-- ‘tame‘?"

　　"Men," said the fox. "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?"
